Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with

these troubles must, from necessity, be in
ternal, the weary sufferer continues 10 rub,

THE SECOND ROUTE.

8. From the Great Bend Fill where it
turns in a s0utherly direction the second
artificial line of water communication
has been projected. This line. which
runs in a general westerly direction from
point on the Illinois river, at or neal
the town Of Hennepin, by the most prac-
ticsble route to the Mississippi river, al
or above the city of Rock Island" is
known as the Hennepin canal, surveys OF
which were authorized by act of congress
of Aug. Q, 1882. The proposed cana
runs from Hennepin westerly about
twenty-five miles TO the summit of thu
level between the two rivers. From this
point three diverging lines have been
surveyed and considered by the en-
gineers which strike the Mississippi nea
Rock Island, Watertown and Albany
respectively. Watertown is seven mile!
and Albany twenty-five miles above Rocl
Island. The route terminating at Albany
is known as the Marais d'Osier route
Reports of the surveys and estimates o
reports are appended to the report.
Upon examination of the report 0
the board it is evident that commercia
benefit TO the country would result froI
the completion of these nsvigable water
ways between Lake Michigan and tn
Mississippi river. While that great rive
may be reached by the Illinois and Mich
gan Canal and the Illinois river, tn
mouth of the latter is so far south tina
these waterways do not afford sufficien
or convenient communication with tn
upper Mississippi. The report of tn
engineers shows clearly that the cor
struction of
THE HENNEPIN CANAL is FEASIBLE
and that its benefits to commerce woul
be great. Whether they would be 6

Removing Paint on Clothes.

''It is not as generally known yet, a.
philanthropist could wish," said ar
old house painter, who is withal very
intelligent man, to me recently, show
easy it is to remove fresh paint from
any sort of wooden fabric. If vol
should rub your coat-sleeve against 8
freshly-painted post or door, all you
have to do is to take off your coat and
rub the soiled spot with the coat-tail and
the paint will vanish. You must rub
hard enough and fast enough to pro.
duce a good deal of friction and heat
and what is stranger still you must rut
with the same fabric that has been soil.
ed. The nearer matched the two sur.
faces are, in texture and material, that
you rub together, the more successful
will be the operation; and the rule APP.
plies only to wooden fabrics. Who dis
covered this strange fact / never learn
ed, but of course some painter in the
course of business. What the explana-
ton is never knew, and l never knew
any one who pretended to know. The
nearest any one can come to it is to say
that the heat generated by the friction
evaporates the volatile ingredients OF
the paint, and rubs off the solid and
any ingredients that are left But why
this evaporation can only be produced
in this way, and not by the heat of the
sun or of a hot fire, and most of all by
the friction of cotton fabrics, or by the
friction of two different kinds of wooden
fabrics l never could imagine. The
subject is worthy of the investigation OF
scientific men, for if the explanation
were found the principle might be found
susceptible of much wider and more
valuable application. = Chicago Jour
